As someone that often listens to audiobooks while driving, I don't find problems with comprehension, unless there is something that is taking up a large portion of my attention. As long as I can basically drive on instinct and muscle memory, I remember it as well as if reading it. If there is something that I have to listen to, or read, then I generally either stop the book, or go back.
One strange effect for me though is that if within the next week or so, I hear a part of the book, I can tell you exactly where I was at that time, though I can't generally go the other way, and think of where I was in a book when I was last at a location. The brain is pretty weird/cool.
Hmmm. Interesting to know. I did listen to a lot of religious debates, but I'm not sure how to tell if I have great recollection. I could summarize the gist and certainly remember the overall points/strategies, though.
Debates probably aren't the best for trying to probe post-listening recall, though. They're all over the place and I've listened to so many on the same topic that they blur together.
Maybe I should just try this and see what happens.
Re. the knowing your location, that's really cool. I can do something like that visually -- if a quote struck me, I can remember quite long after where it is on the page and just riffle through keeping my eyes fixed on that part of each page and find it.
